When Chu Yunmo woke up, it was three days later. Mu Chun was overjoyed.
"Young master, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!"
"Young Master Chu is awake?"
A gentle voice came from behind her. Chu Yunmo struggled to her feet and then bowed to the person in question.
"The First Prince."
"Dr. Ouyang is indeed a prophet; he predicted that Young Master Chu would wake up today, and he really did."
Li Mutian spoke to the people behind him, then pointed at Chu Yunmo.
"I'll have to trouble Physician Ouyang to examine Young Master Chu and see how his injuries are healing."
"No... I dare not accept such praise. My life is worthless, and I dare not trouble the divine physician Ouyang, much less the Crown Prince."
As Chu Yunmo spoke, she prepared to get off the bed, but Mu Chun pressed her down.
"Young master, you are so badly injured, where are you going?"
“I…we must go back quickly. I killed Chu Xing, and Father must already know. Mother…I’m afraid Mother is probably dead. I…we can’t linger here.”
Chu Yunmo spoke haltingly, her anxiety palpable, for she knew her father all too well. He could discard anything that had lost its value, even his own son, let alone someone who had betrayed him.
"Young Master Chu, there is no need to worry too much. Ziwei and Afeng have already gone to rescue her. I believe they will be able to rescue your mother soon. You should focus on recovering from your injuries."
As Li Mutian reassured him, he made a gesture toward Doctor Ouyang.
"Thank you for your help, Dr. Physician."
"Young master, you have no idea how amazing Miss Luo Yun is. She used a helicopter or something to shoot down all the pigeons that Lord Chu released with a pistol. The Imperial Advisor won't know what happened here, so don't worry!"
As for the lady, Miss Luo Yun promised that she would definitely rescue her. If we ride back, it will take at least half a month to reach Qingyu Kingdom.
The helicopter piloted by Miss Luo Yun can reach speeds of over 400 kilometers per hour, and it will arrive in Qingyu Kingdom in about a day. So, Madam, please rest assured and focus on recovering.
While the renowned physician Ouyang was examining Chu Yunmo, Mu Chun kept chattering away, finally calming Chu Yunmo down. But then she remembered something else.
"What about the people Chu Xing brought with him?"
"Lord Chu's roar caused the deaths and injuries of most of those people. The few remaining people were captured by Prince Longxuan, who said that after this matter was over, they would be dealt with according to their crimes."
Mu Chun spoke the truth, and Chu Yunmo nodded.
"That's good. They aren't all bad people. The ultimate source of evil is my good father."
"How are you? Is Young Master Chu's internal injury any better?"
Seeing that Doctor Ouyang had released Chu Yunmo's hand, the eldest prince, Li Mutian, hurriedly inquired.
"Your Highness, may I speak with you in private?"
Doctor Ouyang looked grave. Li Mutian comforted Chu Yunmo with a few words and then followed him out of the hall.
"What happened? Is it Young Master Chu's injury...?"
The only thing Li Mutian could think of was that Chu Yunmo's internal injuries were severe, but then he heard Doctor Ouyang say...
"Internal injuries can be treated, but Young Master Chu has Gu worms in his body. I have practiced medicine for many years, but my research on Gu worms is not in-depth enough, so I am afraid I cannot cure them."
"Gu worms? Who would use Gu worms on Chu Yunmo?"
Li Mutian frowned deeply, and after a moment asked,
"Does Doctor Ouyang know what kind of Gu it is?"
"If I am not mistaken, it should be a control Gu, which is a Gu worm raised by Gu keeper in order to control others."
These Gu worms appear dead most of the time, growing within the human body. However, they revive when the mother Gu worm is harmed, thus achieving the purpose of being controlled.
Because this Gu worm is quiet, the person who has been poisoned with it is often unaware that they have been poisoned.
The divine physician Ouyang told him everything he knew, and Li Mutian's expression remained solemn.
"Does Chu Yunmo know that there are Gu worms hidden in her body? If she does know, and she willingly lets herself be controlled, wouldn't my 'Zixiao Kingdom' be in danger?"
But if he didn't know? He'd be quite pitiful.
Li Mutian thought about it a lot, but in the end, he decided to wait for Li Mufeng to return before making a decision.
Before Ziwei left, she said that they were only going back to save people and would be back soon.
Having made up his mind, Li Mutian spoke.
"I would like to trouble you, Physician Ouyang, to keep this a secret. Do not let Chu Yunmo know about this for now. Focus on treating his internal injuries."
After Doctor Ouyang left, Chu Yunmo was also helped out by Mu Chun.
"Young Master Chu is so badly injured, why are you staying in a hotel?"
Li Mutian hurriedly stepped forward, but Chu Yunmo spoke indifferently.
"This humble subject has a worthless life and dares not disturb the Crown Prince here. I wish to live outside with Mu Chun. After I recover from my injuries, I will voluntarily return to receive my punishment, since I have done too many wrong things before."
"But you also saved Ah Feng's life, so stay! We'll make other plans after you recover."
Li Mutian sincerely tried to persuade him to stay, and after a moment he said...
"Actually, I don't like you. If it weren't for you, Han Ruyi wouldn't have had the chance to enter the palace, and Father wouldn't have died."
"I'm sorry! After the matter of Qingyu Kingdom is settled, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Chu Yunmo also felt guilty. If she had known earlier that she would get entangled with Li Mufeng and the others, and if she had known earlier that she would fall in love with Han Ziwei, she would not have done so many stupid things. But time cannot be turned back, what has happened cannot be changed, and a mistake is a mistake.
"Very well, stay here and live well! I will not make things difficult for you until Ah Feng returns. If you need anything, just send someone to inform me and I will try my best to satisfy you."
The eldest prince, Li Mutian, has left. A little bundle of flesh peeked out from the bushes, tilting its head and asking,
"So you are Chu Yunmo?"
"Yes, and who are you?"
Seeing how cute the little guy was, Chu Yunmo looked at him curiously. The little guy in front of her had an average appearance, but his big, watery eyes were very endearing, so she asked him a question.
“My name is Li Jingchen, and I am my father’s godson. I’m warning you, my mother can only belong to my father. Don’t try to take my father’s woman away from me again, or I will never forgive you.”
The little guy raised his fist, looking like he was about to fight Chu Yunmo, which made Chu Yunmo laugh.
"Young master, you smiled."
Mu Chun was incredulous. Chu Yunmo waved to the little guy.
"Come here, shall I show you a magic trick?"
As Chu Yunmo spoke, she muttered incantations, forcefully channeling her inner energy to force out some mist, which formed a ball in her hand, prompting the little guy to clap and cheer.
"You're so amazing, could you teach me?"
Perhaps due to excessive exertion, Chu Yunmo coughed violently, prompting Mu Chun to complain.
"Young master, you clearly know you have internal injuries, so why..."
"It's okay. I don't know if I'll have the chance to have such a lovely child again in the future, so it's good to enjoy the joy of family life in advance."
Chu Yunmo's voice was filled with desolation, and Mu Chun's eyes involuntarily reddened.
“Young master, you are talking nonsense. You are still young and will surely have many children and grandchildren in the future.”
Will it? I hope so!
Touching Li Jingchen's soft hair, Chu Yunmo suddenly realized that Li Mufeng was quite fortunate, having a loving older brother, such an adorable godson, and her protection. In contrast, she thought of herself...
"Do you want a lollipop? This is a gift from my mother. She said lollipops are very sweet and can make you forget all your troubles. I'm giving it to you."
Perhaps sensing Chu Yunmo's sadness, the little guy stuffed the lollipop he was reluctant to eat into his palm, and then ran away in a flash.
Looking at the lollipop in her hand, Chu Yunmo suddenly realized that life wasn't all gray; it could also be colorful and vibrant.
Inside the "Azure Feather Kingdom", Xue Ziwei parked the helicopter in a spacious area and then got off the plane with Li Mufeng and Wang Feng. Xiao You immediately put the helicopter into her spatial storage, and everything happened without anyone noticing.
"Your Highness, should we enter the Qingyu Kingdom's palace immediately?"
Wang Feng lowered his voice.
Just as Li Mufeng was about to answer, a commotion arose in the distance.
"No! Sir, please release my wife! She's newly pregnant and can't possibly serve the Imperial Preceptor! Please, I beg you, sob sob..."
The man's cries were deafening. "Blood Purple Rose" and Li Mufeng exchanged a glance and walked toward the direction from which the sound came.
